Increase healthcare providers’ understanding of refugee health needs, so healthcare providers can interact in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner to improve delivery of healthcare services to refugees.

Increase refugees’ access to healthcare systems by creating community stakeholder meetings that will establish formalized networks of mental health providers and a statewide referral system.

The initiative will establish a network of trauma informed and culturally competent mental health professionals and referral systems that ensure effective access to mental health services. This will be achieved by:

Train-the-trainer modules for refugee community leaders.

Training workshops for mental health and general health professionals.
